Now, the 2019 Emmy Awards are set to broadcast later this month without a host, mere months after the Academy Awards aired without a host (and were arguably better for it).
So, how will the Emmys be different without a host, when the last time it went host-less was all the way back in 2003?
Once upon a time, it was all but inconceivable that major awards shows would hit the airwaves without a host or even two to deliver an opening monologue.
Sure, it happened from time to time, but it was hardly the norm.
